Actress Diana Penty has offered a rare glimpse into her long-standing relationship with diamond merchant Harsh Sagar, revealing why the couple has chosen not to rush into marriage despite being together for over a decade. In a candid interview with Hauterrfly, the Cocktail star shared personal insights into their 12-year relationship and why they feel no pressure to make it official.
“Yes, I am not single,” Diana said. “I will not go on a rooftop and shout about it, but my partner and I have been together for 12 years, and we’ve known each other for 22 years, which is half of my life. So even though I am not married, in my head I am. It’s the same thing because you’re respecting the relationship in the same way.”
She went on to explain that both their families are supportive of their decision to take things at their own pace. “Both our families are very chill, and they respect what we have. Their priority is our happiness. It’s not like we don’t like the concept of marriage, but we live together, have a dog together, everybody knows we are together, so there’s no rush. It’s pretty much like being married—just that it’s not on paper, and it makes no difference to me or him.”
